A SURVEY ON STABILIZATION OF SWITCHED NONLINEAR SYSTEMS WITH UNSTABLE MODES

The study of analysis and synthesis of switched nonlinear systems is a remarkable aspect in the control field in recent years,which has both important academic and practical values.This paper surveys the recent theoretical results on the stabilization of switched nonlinear systems with unstable modes.Two cases are considered:Some modes are unstable and all modes are unstable.The practical usefulness is illustrated by several applications including fault tolerant control,multiagent systems,networked control systems,etc.Some perspectives are also provided.
